It's only used from useractions.cpp which means that it's not the best
fit in utils. We can see the problems with it given that it was in an
ifdef and it included quite some headers into everything.

The existing desktop switcher becomes the first available layout called
"informative". For both variants of desktop switchers a new config key is
introduced to define the desktop switcher layout.
Desktop layouts are installed into a different directory than window
switcher layout and use a different service type.
For the moment it's basically a hidden config option as there are no
further layouts yet.

It's an option doing pretty much the same as the highlight of selected
window option. But it is known to conflict especially with some Plasma

Following the approaches of other split out functionality Screens is a
singleton class created by Workspace.
The class takes over the responsibility for:
* screenChanged signal delayed by timer
* number of screens
* geometry of given screen
* active screen
* config option for active screen follows mouse
The class contains a small abstraction layer and has a concrete subclass
wrapping around QDesktopWidget, but the idea is to go more low level and
interact with XRandR directly to get more detailed information.
All over KWin the usage from QDesktopWidget is ported over to the new
Screens class.

There is only one instance hold by Workspace which means it should follow
the common approach with ::self and ::create.
The hasTabBox is completely removed as it's rather useless and the same
as the ifdef around the usages any way.

All activities related code moves into new singleton class Activities.
This class gets only included into the build if the build option is
enabled which means there are less ifdefs all over the code and it also
handles better the moc doesn't like ifdef case.
The class holds the list of open and all activites, the current and the
previous activity and the KActivities::Controller. It also emits the
signals for any activities related changes.
Workspace still contains some activities related code. That is the
adjustment on change of current activity. Nevertheless the code looks
much cleaner now and does not contain the confusing naming conflict with
takeActivity() which existed before.
In all the places where Activities got used the code got adjusted and
quite often the ifdef got added with a fallback for the disabled case.
Many headers included KLocale to use i18n and co. But those methods are
defined in KLocalizedString and not in KLocale.
With KF5 klocale.h does no longer include KLocalizedString causing lots
of compile errors.
To support this feature the DesktopModel is turned into a tree model with
the desktops on the root level and the Client's at the next level.
In the view a VisualDataModel is used which kind of supports a tree model
by setting the root index. A list view is added underneath all the
desktops showing the icons of the windows on the desktop one switches to.

The new class FocusChain manages two different kind of focus chains.
First of all there is a most recently used focus chain which is primarily
used for TabBox.
Then there is one focus chain per virtual desktop. These chains are used
to determine which Client needs to be activated when e.g. switching to a
virtual desktop.
The individual chains are implemented as a simple QList of Client* with
the most recently used Client as the last element. That way one can see
it as a LIFO like structure.
The desktop focus chains are internally represented as a hash with the id
of the virtual desktop as the key and a list as described as the value.
FocusChain is a singleton which provides some methods to manipulate the
chains and to get a specific Client for a task (e.g. TabBox).
While splitting out the code some unused code inside TabBox got removed
as well as some activities related code (windows cannot be moved while
switching activities).

Use xcb to create and manage the X11 backend of Outline. In addition the
used background pixmaps are rendered with XRender instead of using a
QPainter on a QPixmap. This is done because QPixmap is no longer bound to
an X Pixmap.
To create the XRender Picture the available functionality from
kwinxrenderutils is used. To be able to use it in KWin core the compile
option to build without XRender is removed for kwinxrenderutils, but
still supported for effects.
Obviously the port to XCB is not complete as xremderutils itself is still
on XLib.

In effects it's obvious that compositing is enabled, so specifying the
translucent element is no problem.
In tabbox a context property "compositing" is injected which decides
whether "translucent" or "opaque" elements should be used. Here the
translucent elements are only used if the Blur effect is available - for
this a new Effect::Feature Blur is introduced and in addition it is
tested whether the theme provides the translucent element.
Also the masking is adjusted to ensure that only the shadow is not
blurred.
Reason for this change is that Plasma theme seems not always to pick up
whether compositing is used when used from inside KWin. It does not cover
the Desktop Change OSD which uses PlasmaCore.Dialog and there we cannot
(yet) inject that we use compositing.
Overall I'm quite unhappy with this patch and I do hope we can fix it in
the proper place in the lifetime of 4.10 and revert this patch.

due to plasma change, shadow is not included by default, hence kwin
tabbox need to handle shadow by itself, and due to kwin is compositor
and have shadow as effects, it's not a good idea to use X property to
pass shadow from kwin to X and to kwin. This change use the old way to
draw shadow side the tabbox, and partly move the blur region setting to
qml.

Most recently used virtual desktop chain is only used in the context of
TabBox and therefore moved into this namespace. KWin uses one desktop
chain for each activity. This is mapped by having multiple DesktopChains.
In addition there is a DesktopChainManager which contains all those
chains which are identified by a QString.
The manager gets connected to the signals emitted by VirtualDesktopManager
for changes in virtual desktops and to signals related to Activities
emitted by Workspace. This means the manager is rather generic as it does
not depend on any other components.
The ownership for virtual desktops is moved from Workspace into a new
VirtualDesktopManager. The manager is responsible for providing the count
of virtual desktops and keeping track of the currently used virtual
desktop.
All methods related to moving between desktops are also moved from
Workspace to the new manager, though all methods related to Clients on
Virtual Desktops remain in Workspace for the time being. This is to have
the new manager as independent from KWin core as possible.
An rather important change for the handling of virtual desktops is that
the count and the id of a desktop is now an unsinged integer instead of
an integer. The reason for that is that we cannot have a negative count
of desktops as well as it is not possible to be on a desktop with a
negative identifier.
In that regard it is important to remember that a Client can be on a
desktop with a negative identifier. The special value for a Client being
on all desktops is handled by using -1 as a desktop. For the time being
this is not adjusted but instead of comparing the virtual desktop ids one
should prefer to use the convenient methods like isOnDesktop and
isOnAllDesktops. This would allow in future to internally change the
representation for on all desktops.
Escaping is performed in the model instead of the UI as each of the QML
files needed to be fixed and it is likeley that the issue would come up
again. In the model it's hopefully fixed for good.

If the start Client is not part of the focus chain the call to
nextClientFocusChain() cannot return the Client again. So the loop break
condition is never reached and as the focus chain is not empty the call
always returns a not null Client which means KWin is caught in an endless
loop.
This change checks that the starting Client is in the focus chain and if
not the first Client of the focus chain is used.
